084 – God the Omnipotent

1

God the Omnipotent! King, who ordainest

Great winds Thy clarions, the lightnings Thy sword;

Show forth Thy pity on high where Thou reignest,

Give to us peace, O most merciful Lord.

2

God the all merciful! earth hath forsaken

Thy precepts holy, and slighted Thy word;

Bid not Thy wrath in its terrors awaken;

Give to us peace, O most merciful Lord.

3

God the all righteousness One! man hath defied Thee;

Yet to eternity standeth Thy word;

Falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside Thee;

Prosper the right, O most merciful Lord.

4

So shall we render Thee thankful devotion,

For Thy deliverance from peril and sword,

Singing in chorus from ocean to ocean,

“Thine is the power and the glory, O Lord.”
